Advanced Fatigue Assessment of Riveted Railway Bridges on Existing Masonry Abutments: An Italian Case Study
Riveted railway bridges with already long structural lives can still be commonly found in service in Europe. In light of their peculiarities, they are often prone to fatigue damage; nevertheless, very few prescriptions regarding fatigue assessment of these structures can be found in current European provisions. Within this framework, the present paper illustrates the advanced fatigue assessment of an Italian riveted railway bridge selected as a case study. For this purpose, multi-scale finite element modelling of the bridge was developed, and the most critical details were assessed through application of the advanced strain energy density (SED) method. The obtained outcomes were compared both with other studies in the literature and prescriptions from the current and upcoming versions of EN1993-1-9.
